Since metal gear’s all up in the news these days, did you see the Metal Gear Online release trailer? Customizable female avatars and women soldiers dressed like actual soldiers! I am so hype!
I would really love to know what’s going on at Konami these days. Okay I know everyone with an interest in games would like to know that, but Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain is being particularly baffling from a represent of women point of view.
Because they have pretty much flawless representation in this video… but then they have this….*

* Mandatory disclaimer for all the MGS fans frantically rushing to tell me things that don’t actually matter:
- I know exactly who the Boss is and I know she usually wore her outfits closed, and that her scar was a lot more visible in MGS3.
- I know exact who EVA is and I also know that they could have picked other female characters who had distinctive looks. Meryl Silverburg or Olga Gurlukovich for example.
- Absolutely nothing about this promo is about keeping in character – the Big Boss is not a James Bond fan and certainly would never decorate his pony like that.
- Would it help if I said I breathe through my skin?
